Don’t mess with Sansa or Hermione.
Harry Potter star Emma Watson has established herself as one of the most respected opinions on a variety of social issue. The actress is a global goodwill ambassador for the UN and has used her position to highlight issues like gender equality and feminism.
The actress had a busy year having completed work in the live adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, however she made headlines recently after delivering a speech at the “Together for the 2030 Agenda: Partnering for Women, Children and Adolescents, to Thrive and Transform the World” event for which she was praised.
However, a journalist from The Sun, wasn’t impressed by her speech. Have a read of this.

Having read this column, Game of Thrones star Turner felt compelled to offer her support to Watson while delivering a scathing critique of the article.
